Описание

Chondroitin 4-sulfate is a natural polymer of a disaccharide consisting of glucuronic acid and N-acetyl glucosamine which is sulfated either in the 4 or 6 position. It is a glycosaminoglycan considered as a symptomatic slow-acting drug for osteoarthritis (SYSADOA).

Химические свойства

White or yellowish amorphous powder. Tasteless, odorless, hygroscopic, soluble in water, insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, ether, etc. Optical rotation -25°-+35°(c=1, H2O). There are characteristic absorption peaks at 725cm-1, 852cm-1 and 930cm-1 by infrared spectroscopy.

Использование

sodium chondroitin sulfate is described as a skin-conditioning agent, with possible anti-inflammatory properties. It can be found in such products as moisturizers and night skin care preparations. It is a derivative of natural mucopolysaccharides. Chondroitin 4-sulfate is an important structural component of cartilage and has been used as a dietary supplement to treat symptoms of joint discomfort.
